Lamp Tutorial

 I recently found this single salt shaker in a thrift store.

This is a tutorial showing you how easy it is to make it into a doll lamp!

 

I use an empty - washed - applesauce cup. 

(applesauce cups are very popular in my house)

I cut off the top rim.

Then you need a piece of fabric 10" long x 3" wide.

 I hem the fabric on both edges with a single turn

about 1/4" or so.
The fabric shade needs to be wider than the cup is tall.

Hot-glue the fabric to the rim of the cup.

 THEN hot-glue this cup/shade to the top of the salt shaker.

Don't worry it won't ruin the salt shaker!

Hot-glue peels off of ceramic and glass pretty easily.

Make sure the lampshade hem is in the back!!

(guess how I know the hot-glue peels off easy)

Then just drop in a battery votive.

 VOILA!

That simple.

Here are some other lamps I have made.

The Savage Dollhouse

This is made from an antique hat pin holder.

 This lamp and the one below

are made with small glass candle holders.

And this one is made from a mini-vase

I found thrifting.

Here is one of my lamps all lit up at night.

I have found that some of these votives are brighter than others,

but most will make a definite light in a dark setting.

Happy Crafting!
